Franchise models are an efficient way for entrepreneurs to spread through the world and a relatively cheap way for people to get and commercialize quality products and acquire new skills. If something like gift cards are introduced to a nostr market, then franchises would compete against each other in the market (this would have the effect of lowering the price of the majority of products of those franchisors). These lower price products could be sent to franchisees all over the world. The reduced price of goods means they can be traded and shipped easily because trying to stop the trade and flow of extremely cheap goods is like trying to cover the sun with just one hand.

The progression of free trading would begin at coastal areas because ships (the most deflationary means of transportation nowadays) would eventually make regulations or walls ineffective against them. Then all of this would spread into the cores of countries, theoretically making free trade the norm globally and providing common citizens with a shelter against government induced problems.

interesting train of thoughts. free trade is great. i love that you want to expand global trade for commodity with bitcoin usage and there are def many ways to do this. Franchise model is fascinating - it provides a safety net. The part to be careful is limitation of brand creation. "cheap" is something has to be battled out with long lasting and quality. its a more recent sensation that has not shown its ripple effects. quick gratification may not always be handy. I think anything that sells on Nostr market is great but diff markets separations are needed for luxury vs regular goods, finished goods vs raw mats. Are you building nostr market, seller or a marketer?

No. I'm not any seller or marketer. I'm just a random guy spitting out loose ideas by now 😂 but the point of catallactic competition is bringing more abundant, better quality, more diverse, cheaper and more powerful. Catallactic competition is the base of division of labor and it's only possible if there is hard money for those that can Hodl(low temporal preference).

I've never read principles of economics of Saifedean Ammous but I suspect that he explains all of this in his book.

A good article to read about the quality of goods is Allen Farrington's https://www.axiombtc.capital/capital
